          Introduction to Transmission

        <p>
          <span class="application">Transmission</span> is a cross-platform,
          open source BitTorrent client. This is useful for downloading large
          files (such as Linux ISOs) and reduces the need for the
          distributors to provide server bandwidth.
        </p>
        <p>
          This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.1
          platform.
